The pain of sexual frustration, of repressed tenderness, of denied curiosity, of isolation in the ego, of greed, suppressed rebellion, of hatred poisoning all love and generosity, permeates our sexuality. What we love we destroy. Censorship is the outward and continuing expression of this distortion of the human erotic faculty." - 'The Wet Dream Film Festival', Germaine Greer in Suck, 1971.
"'I assert nothing, Jack, but the lady's reputation is very far from being perfect, as I know from another source, and I strongly advise you to take no decided step until you have some irrefragable independent evidence of her state — until you have really sifted the matter.'" -- Patrick O'Brian, The Surgeon's Mate, 168
